Holistic Gardening Practices.  Sustainable practices  in your home garden.  How we care for the soil matters, it affects how our gardens grow, but it also affects the air we breath and the water we drink.  The shift toward a more natural, organic approach or even hybrid approach is far more balanced than a completely chemical approach to gardening. Let's find ways to care for ourselves, our gardens and the soil in a holistic manner, and enjoy the richness of working with nature instead of controlling nature which we know does not work for long.
